The ever-present MACARON comes in a box and I bought it. Not that I'll ever bake but who could resist? They were selling this in the gift shop at the musee des arts decoratif no less. Hello Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The box includes a special thermometer, recipe book, nozzles and the whole shebang for just 12 euros.

You can easily pick up these cook'in box books at Amazon.Fr. True the shipping is $$$(almost the same as the book in you live in the US) but that's still not so bad in my opinion.

Too funny--when I first saw your watercolor, I thought, "how charming," and then I immediately burst out laughing, thinking: ????!!? Carol????!?!???BAKING??? too cute. Looks like fun! When we were kids, we had a box with teeny cake tins in it and a cake mix--we made cakes and they were tiny--we loved it!

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5 and I'm still at it. Now I live by the Seine on l'Ile Saint-Louis. Do consider subscribing to my Paris letters and maps on Etsy and enjoy a taste of Paris in your mailbox every month to savor with a hot chocolate and croissant. I paint Paris dreams.
